By my tom of [A] Bodlam, seven thousand [D] years I'll travel,
goes on [G] good to toes, to save her [D] shoes from gravel.
Still I sing, bunny boys, bunny mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonny,
For they all go bare and they live by the air, And they want no drink nor much.
[D] poor Tom was so disdained,
[G] I crossed, [D] which makes me thus [A] go chained.
bunny boys, [G] bunny mad boys, Bedlam boys [A] are bonny,
go [E] bare and they live by the air, And they want no drink [D] nor money.
goes on [G] good to toes, to save her [D] shoes from gravel.
Still I sing, bunny boys, bunny mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonny,

_ _ _ _ By my tom of [A] Bodlam, seven thousand [D] years I'll travel,
And Bodlam goes on [G] good to toes, to save her [D] shoes from gravel.
Still I sing, bunny boys, bunny mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonny,
For they all go bare and they live by the air, And they want no drink nor much.
_ I now repent that [G] ever, [D] poor Tom was so disdained,
My wits are lost since him [G] I crossed, [D] which makes me thus [A] go chained.
[Dm] Still I sing, bunny boys, [G] bunny mad boys, Bedlam boys [A] are bonny,
[F] For they all go [E] bare and they live by the air, And they want no drink [D] nor money.
_ I went to Pluto's [A] kitchen, to beg some food [D] one morning,
And there I got Sol's [G] piping hot, all [A] on the spit a-turning.
[Dm] Still I sing, bunny [E] boys, bunny mad boys, Bedlam boys are [F] bonny,
For they all go bare and they live by the [D] air, And they want no drink nor money. _
There I took up a [Gm] cauldron, where boiled ten [Dm] thousand harlots,
Though full of flame I [C] drank the same, [D] to the health of [A] all such violets.
Still I [F] sing, bunny boys, bunny mad [G] boys, Bedlam [D] boys are bonny,
For they [F] all go bare and they [A] live by the air, [D] And they want no drink nor money.
_ My staff has murdered giants, my bag a long knife carries,
For to cut mince pies from children's thighs, with a witch to feed the fairies.
[G] Still I sing, bunny boys, bunny mad [A] boys, Bedlam [D] boys are bonny,
[E] For they all go bare and they live by the air, [D] And they want no drink nor money.
_ A spirit hot as [G] lightning, did on that journey [Dm] guide me,
The [D] sun did shake and the pale moon quake, as soon as e'er [A] they spied me.
Still I sing, [G] bunny boys, bunny mad boys, [D] Bedlam boys are [E] bonny,
For they all go bare and they live by the air, And they want no drink nor money.
_ No gypsy, slut or doxy, [Dm] shall win my [D] mad tom from me,
I'll weep all night, with [G] stars I'll fight, the fray shall well become me.
[Dm] Still I sing, bunny boys, bunny mad [D] boys, Bedlam boys are bonny,
For they all go bare and [E] they live by the air, And they [D] want no drink nor money. _
So drink to Tom of Bedlam, [Am] go fill the [D] seas in barrels,
I'll drink it all, well [G] brewed with gall, and [A] maudlin drunk I'll quarrel.
Still [F] I sing, bunny boys, [E] bunny mad boys, Bedlam [Dm] boys are bonny,
For they all go bare and [E] they live by the air, And [D] they want no drink nor money. _ _ _ _
